Kevin J. Etzel

Kevin Etzel is a member of the Litigation group, where he represents financial institutions, credit unions, and private lenders in complex commercial disputes and bankruptcy matters.  

He advises clients on bankruptcy proceedings, commercial foreclosures, collections, loan workouts, and contested litigation, delivering strategic guidance that aligns legal solutions with business objectives.

Kevin handles all stages of litigation in a wide range of creditor-side matters, including actions for breach of contract, lender liability, and related commercial disputes.  He also assists clients with judgment enforcement, asset discovery, lien enforcement, and the recovery of fraudulent transfers, consistently achieving recoveries that meet or exceed expectations. Where appropriate, he employs mediation, arbitration, and negotiated resolutions to secure efficient, cost-effective outcomes.

Beyond his client work, Kevin supports the Federal Enforcement Homeland Security Foundation, a nonprofit organization that provides emergency financial assistance to families of federal law enforcement officers killed or seriously injured in the line of duty.
